Design and printing
production went from X-acto
knife to computer in only
30+ years. Remember the
days of mechanical pasteup?
Cutting amberliths for
charts and all those overlays
with registration marks?
These skills have been
transferred to the computer,
making life easier and faster,
with the ability to print better!
For example, in catalog
work, the designer has to
often fit many products on
a page in a way that is still
readable and attractive. The
computer aids in speed and
ability to do this today.
